weekly art forecasts from Central Iowa

Who’s exhibiting and opportunities for artists

“I want to explore ideas about climate, weather, history (both art and geopolitical), personal emotional and psychological states, what it means to have relationships, being a mother, the enormity of what it means to be human being. Parched landscapes, extreme flooding and uncontainable wild fires speak to a natural world out of balance.”

Since 2012, Art Beacon Des Moines has been increasing the visibility of the visual arts in Central Iowa via our weekly newsletter, social media and community calendar. We share exhibition info and opportunities for artists. We aim to make it easier to find out who is making art and where to find them in Iowa.
